Answer:

The correct answer is letter "B": It is taking deposits and progress payments.

Step-by-step explanation:

Advance deposits and progress payments are the amount of money taken by an organization as part of the total amount charged for a good or service that is going to be provided. It is a form of endorsement that proves the buyer has a real intention in acquiring the good or service but also helps the organization to have immediate cash flow to pay for expenses such as the raw material that will be used for production (in the case of a good).
